Mood./ Painting

The painting starts playfully, according to a mood for a sensation or just to get rid of the content. Usually the first move will be painted over or painted out. Moves and counter-moves are initiated by similar violations. It is just decision after decision—an ongoing process of putting something onto canvas and then editing it, then putting something down and editing it again, updating Rauschenberg’s antiformalist handling of painting as a flat surface on which signs of various origins and meanings can be piled up.
